Green screen effect... Without green screen?

Post by WaterlemonTheArtist »

Hello! I'm doing some video editing work for my dad's company and he wants me to do a video of his drone hovering, and he wants me to make the background a green screen... Without filming the drone in front of a green screen. Is this even possible in VideoStudio? (I'm using VS Ultimate 2018) Basically, I'm trying to do what this video is doing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdeMoAA5QXk but instead of a dude in front of a mountain, I want a moving drone in front of a forest or a house or something. My dad swears that he's seen someone do it before, but he unfortunately has lost the video :?

Any other information that you need from me, I'll happily give! I just need to to know if I can do this, and if so, how!

Thanks!

Yes, it can be easily done. 1. Film the drone against a continuous colored background (does not have to be green but, solid color)
2. Use VS Chrome Key to remove the solid background by placing clip in overlay track and size to taste
3. Place your forest above the overlay track (MAIN TRACK) and manipulate the chrome sliders until you
get want you want on the overlay track

Example that I did can be viewed at: https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D1814182_040_877470723
Note, background not green (lady) and the main track (spider web) is a video but, could be a photo (jpg, bmp)
The lady could take the place of the drone and the spider web your forest.
